The North Pole is the fastest-warming area of our planet. Yet, we know so little about the local ecosystems, the way they interact with the climate, and how global warming is impacting them. The French Tara Ocean Foundation wants to change that by deploying a spaceship-shaped station in the Central Arctic. Their goal is to study the North Pole’s ecosystem to document and better understand its relationship to the climate, and how the rising temperatures may change the vulnerable area.

I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE HUMAN EMOTION OF JOY WHEN I WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT THE LOOMING CLIMATE CATASTROPHY. HA HA HA HA.

You can’t measure it but it’s warming four times faster.
I asked this question often and I can’t get an answer from anyone . Here’s the question: Please name one thing starting with the mini ice age that I was told as an adult was coming, that never happened. Then everything went into global warming. Then John Ehrlich said that by the year 2000, 90% of the population in the world would be dead from starvation. Al Gore predicted lots of things and so did Michael Mann. Then we morphed into climate change and even more predictions which never came true and Al Gore won a Nobel peace prize for lies. So please someone tell me what actually came true that was told to the American people by the so call experts? Then that incorrigible teenager Greta Thunberg started taking down some of her posts or pushing back the timeline like they all did 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. Remember there was going to be sea level rise and part of New York was going to be underwater, they almost guaranteed it. Tide gauges from around the world that can be accessed on the Internet and if there is 1 or 2 mm of sea level rise, that’s .040 to .080 rise in sea level which is consistent over the past 200 years or since they’ve been measuring it. I watch the weather every day and read the weather outlook for 72 hours and they can’t get that right, so how are they predicting what’s going to happen 50 years from now or 100 years from now. Don’t get me started on forest fires which are down 90% since a 1930s. 101°, in 1878 was the high temperature yesterday Friday, July 18, 2025 for the area where I live and recently most high temperatures above 90° or 100° have been set not recently but over 100 years ago sometimes 125 years ago or longer.

@@CatatonicImperfect It was awesome. But climate has changed since Earth formed, and it will change until the Sun expands and swallows Earth. In the meantime, we are coming out of an ice age still.

Keep in mind these researchers will lose their funding and their jobs if global warming wasn’t fearful as promoted. Now look at their dishonesty promoting the global warming fear
1… when he said the ice is thinning, he contradicted actual measurements that showed Antarctic land ice is THICKENING over a large percent of Antarctica.
2… when he claimed the Arctic will likely be ice free by 2050 and as early as 2030, he is repeating Al Gore’s propaganda lie but with new dates that global warming will flood many cities and populated islands will disappear under the waves

I still want to know more about how it is insulated. ALSO, I would think you could have at least 2 people per cabin without affecting privacy if they were working different shifts.
